The Lagos
state police command have arrested a Muslim cleric, Abdullahi Omobolaji
popularly known as Alfa over allegations of sexual assault on a 17 year old
girl identified as Idowu at Bakare lane in the Agege area of Lagos state.
According
to Punch, the assault on the girl started in November 2014 after the 40 year
old Alfa who hails from Kwara state lured her to his room which he used for
spiritual consultation and claimed to have seen a vision that she had been
placed under a curse by a man and that the only way she can be redeemed was for
him (Alfa) to have sex with her. People still fall for this sh*t? Continue…
Narrating
what transpired between herself and the Alfa, Idowu said
“It
started in November, 2014 when Alfa Abdullahi called me and said I should always
come to meet him if I needed anything since my dad was dead and my mum was
unable to cater to all my needs. Later, he told me that he had seen a vision,
adding that a man had placed an evil mark on me. He asked me to rinse my hand
with cold water which he the put on the fire. When the water finally boiled and
I brought it down, I saw two cowries and a ring in the water. Alfa said that
was what the man put inside my body and he (Alfa) was the only man that could
remove the evil mark from me. He said he must sleep with me three times, and
that was how he slept with me. He said I must never tell anyone what happened
between us and if I did, I would die just like my father did a few years back”
Idowu
said a few days after her first encounter, Alfa called her to go and buy an egg
which he instructed her to rub all over her body
“Then
he said I should break it. I found seven needles in the egg. Alfa then said he
would have to sleep with me seven times. I pleaded with him not to since he
only recently slept with me three times, but he insisted on doing it, “she said
Idowu’s
mother who is a Fashion designer said it was one of her customers who informed
her of the development. She confronted Alfa who reportedly beat her up for
accusing him of such a crime. Men of the Isokoko Police Division in Agege were
later invited and Alfa was arrested last Wednesday, March 11th.
However,
a family member of the Alfa who spoke anonymously said the Alfa and Idowu were
in a relationship and that she was only framing the Alfa
“The
girl framed up the cleric.They have been sleeping with each other since last
year.”he said
Meanwhile
the Lagos state Police command spokesperson, Kenneth Nwosu while confirming the
matter said the case would be called up in court today March 16th.
